Another question: During an initial install, I request a value from the user, then store it in a registry key (using the HKMU root.) Based on some earlier list emails, I put the component with the RegistryValue into it's own (hidden) feature. What I'm trying to figure out is how to cause it to be updated during a 'change' installation. I found another email that mentioned publishing Events for Reinstall and ReinstallMode on a UI pushbutton, e.g.
============= I found the solution. Using Reinstall and ReinstallMode control events did the trick: -- <Publish Event="ReinstallMode" Value="m" Order="1">1</Publish> <Publish Event="Reinstall" Value="Registry" Order="2">1</Publish> -- (these events are tied to a PushButton control) ============= I tried this (using "mu" for reinstallMode.) However, tying this to a Next button doesn't actually seem to work--no value is put in the registry at all (on either initial or Change install). Someone else suggested that the feature with the registry setting needed to be added to a 'Repair' list, but I have no idea how to do that. Both these emails were a couple years old. Can somebody suggest (in a bit of detail), what I should do to enable setting a registry key on initial install, then updating the value (I've configured the Maintenance sequence to go through the dialog that lets the user set the value to be stored) during a 'Change' install? Thanks for any help you can give me!
